Amber Dawn Bear Robe (Siksika Nation), an Emmy winning curator and educator, brought her vision to life in this first Native Fashion Week Santa Fe 2025. The event celebrated Indigenous creatives working to blend innovation and references to tradition with stunning results. The event took over the Santa Fe Railyard as well as nearby venues with a mix of runway shows, pop ups, panels, and film screenings. Participating designers included Orlando Dugi, Jennifer Lamont, Penny Singer, Nonamey, and Douglas Miles (Apache Skateboards), to name a few. Attendees included industry insiders, journalists, celebrities, and a vibrant community of fans and models — pulling in fashion lovers who might not typically attend Indian Market events. The Santa Fe community in general turned out in force, as well. TABLE Magazine’s Contributing Editor, Tira Howard, was on hand throughout, capturing beautiful images.
